VERDICT FOR W. C. SMITH
highly appreciated
Altogether tl.e affair was most
pleasing and enjoyable.
The recitation of Little Miss Doro- „ _ _
thy Smith was especially pleasing as °m, ,ay:s ,
follows:
Five Rules For Happiness
Cultivate the habit of always looking upon the bright side
of every experience.
Worry and anxiety are the great killers. Worry has the
physical effect of breaking down the nerve centers and making
one less able to do one's work or to meet any difficulty. Don't
cross the bridge before you come to it. Meet every trouble as
it arises.
II.
Accept, cheerfully your place in life while you are in it,
believing that it is the best possible place for you.
This does not mean that one should not strive to better his
condition, but it means that while you are in one position make
the most of it and cioi?t be envious, fretful, and jealous of others.
"Oh," you say, "if 1 just bad something else, or were in some
other situation, 1 could be happy." No, you would not be. If you
cannot command happiness in your present position you could
not find it in another.
III.
Throw your whole soul and spirit into your work, and do it
the best you know how.
No matter what your work is, while you are in it you must
make a delight of doing it well or you will never be happy.
IV.
Get into the habit of doing bits of kindness and courtesies
to all those who touch your life each day.
This means at home, principally. Any one can be polite
and pleasant and thoughtful when out on dress parade. But the
folks who love yon most anil whom you most love are those in
your own household or immediate surroundings. Try thoughtful-
ness, kindness and courtesy with them—husband to wife, wife to
husband, children to parents, parents to children, brothers to
sisters and sisters to brothers.
Adopt and maintain a simple, childlike attitude of confi-
dence and trust in God as your own Father.—From a report of
Dr. Charles E. Barker's lecture,' "How to Live to be One Hun-
dred Years Old."

Jack Halloway, the well known '*

was arrested this morning by Sheriff *
Pickard for transporting, a bottle of *"

and thereby hangs a story.
A number of the practical jokers of! J
the town gathered around Jack near ^
Mayfield's drug store, and while one
engaged him in conversation another ♦
lipped a bottle of tea into his pocket. *
Then, to get a joke on Halloway as ^
well as the officers, the latter were "
told Jack had a bottle cf whisky and *
should be searched. Officer Sadler A
ked him about it, and commenced ♦
the search, finding the bottle of tea * *
and later, lo and behold, finding u v
.ottle of whisky in his inside coat *
pocket. This put the jokers in a bad *
box, especially when Jack declared one
of them had n'iven him the whisky. He
later withdrew that statement, and re-
fused to tell where he had got th';
liquor, and was put in jail to see if
a little confinement will not bring him
i realizatior of his predicament,
"he least punishment that can be in-
red is $50 fine and 30 days in jail.
Ir the meantime the "jokers" are
ueling rather "howcumyouso" over
the result of their joke.
